Now that any kind of soft fork upgrade is completely impossible for a while, we can focus on working with what’s available. Just one example, getting #payjoin into every wallet. Chainalysis will go bankrupt and we can shut up privacy fudsters. There’s so much more that can be built and adopted, even with what we have to work with right now.

Make privacy the default in Bitcoin 🧡

Not to mention Taproot. It was activated years ago now and is barely used outside degen circles. I'm looking forward to having FROST usable, that'd be really cool.

Zeus already has simply taproot channels enabled. Pretty cool

Simple*

And I think PTLC's require things added during the Taproot upgrade to work as well

I haven't done a payjoin for a couple of years but I thought it required a cooperative receiver to add another input.

Is this correct or can you turn any any payment into a payjoin?

I guess you can do a payjoin with yourself, not sure why you would. Typical it’s seen as a tx with another party. Payjoinv1 needed synchronous parties to be online at the same time. Payjoinv2 is asynchronous.

Interesting. I didn't know there was a second version.

I think I'll have to take another look at it. I'm struggling to imagine how an asynchronous payjoin could work.

I wish Core would focus on more privacy at the protocol level
